arXiv:2608. 08207v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate Time Series Classification (MTSC) demands models that can effectively capture complex temporal patterns across multiple scales while remaining computationally efficient.
arXiv:2606. 03631v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate time series classification (MTSC) is pivotal in high-stakes domains, such as clinical diagnosis and industrial fault detection, where safe deployment necessitates transparent decision-making.
arXiv:2606. 03292v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many systems used in real-world environments require adding new categories and incorporating new information without forgetting what was previously learnt by the classification model.
arXiv:2607. 19234v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series classification is central to domains like medical signal analysis, industrial monitoring, and sensor-based activity recognition, where class information manifests as localized shapes, specific frequencies, temporal shifts, or complex cross-channel interactions.
arXiv:2608. 01586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, numerous open-source software libraries have been developed for computing sets of features from univariate time series.
Recent years have witnessed the emergence of multivariate modeling using time series foundation models (TSFMs), which achieve advanced zero-shot generalization. Modern multivariate TSFMs are predominantly pretrained on multivariate synthetic data, which is easier to scale but may fail to capture the complex temporal dynamics and cross-variable relationships present in real-world time series.

SMart is a new time series representation learning framework that combines a multi-phase recurrence plot recovery task with a source dataset selector. The recovery task uses three alternative modes to guide the encoder in capturing time series dynamics, while the selector chooses multiple suitable source datasets to augment the target dataset during pre‑training. Experiments demonstrate that SMart surpasses state‑of‑the‑art models, reducing mean absolute error by up to 19.5% in regression and increasing classification accuracy by up to 1.34%.
ChorusTIC is a training‑free foundation model for multivariate time‑series classification that works across heterogeneous channel configurations without updating task‑specific parameters. It uses Random Subchannel Slot Concatenation and a shared dual‑axis encoder to capture temporal and cross‑channel interactions, mapping variable channel counts into a fixed‑width representation. The model is pretrained on synthetic episodes and achieves strong performance on the UEA‑30 and UCR‑128 archives, handling both full‑context and low‑label scenarios without fitting a target‑specific classifier.
arXiv:2502. 15637v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While foundation models have revolutionized various domains, their application to time series classification remains rather under-explored, with existing literature predominantly focused on forecasting.
The paper introduces m-WCN, an end‑to‑end deep learning framework that neuralizes multi‑wavelet decomposition to jointly extract temporal patterns and frequency components from time series. Two task‑specific architectures built on m‑WCN—TFBC for classification and FTB for forecasting—are shown to outperform baseline models on 64 UCR datasets and seven forecasting benchmarks, achieving average improvements of nearly 20% in both tasks. The approach leverages trainable convolutional operators and orthogonality constraints to produce interpretable multi‑resolution representations.
